In an article early last evening, the Politico reports:
Palin’s hubby and son not Republicans
(play dramatic conclusion music Duh, duh Daaaaaaaaaah!)
Are they suggesting that “hubby and son” wouldn’t or haven’t, voted for Palin? (by the way, would they use a term like “wifey” if Palin was male? Or, as Heather points out, is “hubby” the male version of “Trophy Wife” which was the meme anytime the left talked about Jeri Thompson.) Are they suggesting that Palin’s husband and son would support Obama?
For those who may have a tough time keeping up, let me give you a likely and plausible explanation. While I struggle to remember the last, or for that matter if I have ever, voted for a Democrat, I’m not a Registered Republican. Why? Well, part of it is I don’t like being labeled part of any large group. It’s also because, especially over the past few years, I’ve been very dissatisfied with what the Republicans have been doing. Remaining unaffiliated gives me a clear conscience of supporting people like John Kline (my congresscritter) while still sending weekly emails and calls to Norm Coleman’s office as he hides behind the “R” label and does dumb things like joining the Gang of 16.
A big part of Sarah Palin’s story is that she has taken on corruption in Alaska. As I understand the information, a fair amount of that corruption was within the Republican party up there. If your spouse is coming home every day telling you about all the crap that the party they are a part of is doing, do you suppose you might be just a bit less enthusiastic about putting your name on the rolls of the assumed lock step agreement folks? I know I would.
Once again, Politico, what exactly is your point? It doesn’t appear you have one.
would they use a term like "wifey" if Palin was male
That’s one of the nicer things they call Jeri Thompson…
Another thing–Palin called BigOil’s numbers. She’s no “BigOil” lackey running-dog (like, possibly, some OTHER (R) folks in high places are…)
Read the Forbes summary on the ‘showdown in Alaska’ over the natural gas pipeline and you’ll get the picture.
Indeed, McCain has picked a “reform” candidate-VP.
Dad,
Careful, you’re getting close to having people question your “nasty” status!
Thanks for the heads up on the Forbes article…I’ll look for it.
I was surprised today to learn that the Alaska State constitution provides their citizens with the rights to ownership of all natural resources. If that’s true, it’s no wonder they would welcome any drilling for natural gas or oil, it’s revenue sharing for all.
Of course the blogger has a point. It’s on top of his head.
